Abstract: "This paper addresses issues not previously analyzed by studying the influence that the partner had on the employment situation of the spouse in Spain in the year prior to the health crisis and in the first two years of the pandemic. The results suggest that the recent Covid-19 crisis does not seem to have significantly aggravated the traditional division between paid and domestic work. The results further show significant gender differences and underscore how female employment in Spain has been strongly conditioned by the employment situation of the partner and their relative level of education."
